Kavi Kag Award (Gujarati: કવિ કાગ ઍવોર્ડ) is an annual award named after the Gujarati poet Dula Bhaya Kag, given to folk artists, writers, scholars and institutions for contributions to Gujarati folk as well as Charan literature. It was instituted in 2002 with the inspiration and blessings of Morari Bapu.[1] The award is presented every year on the death anniversary of Dula Bhaya Kag, on Kag Chauth (Fagan Sud Chauth), at Kagdham (Majadar), Amreli.[2][3][4]

Five awards are given to folk artists and writers of Gujarati, and one award is given to a Rajasthani scholar for research in the field of literature. The recipients are honored with an incentive of Rs 51000/-, mementos, and shawls.[2][3]
